The dark knight is back! One year after the events of Arkham city and Rocksteady raises the bar again. The same developer that has brought us the amazing Arkham series has finally announced the last installment. Don’t be too upset though because this game is going to set the standards for next-gen gaming. So you can expect the best Batman game up to date. My first thought throughout this discovery is “How can Rocksteady compete with its own success? Can this game really top off the other Arkham games?”.

I have two words for those of you thinking the same doubtful questions and unsure opinions. The Batmobile. At last you can finally call the Batmobile to your side and even be ejected from the driver seat and launched skyward while driving. The movies released through Warner Bros. has made each Batman fan out there want their own personal bat tank. A vehicle so fierce and unstoppable it can break through corners of buildings, street cars, and just about anything your way. The streets of Gotham are redesigned wider to accommodate the Batmobile and all its deadliness. In addition to Gotham’s streets growing the entire games open world is five times the size of Arkham City’s. As if Arkham City wasn’t enough of a massive sandbox.

One of the games main signatures is the combat system and it’s counter focused gameplay. This system has been so successful that other games have even borrowed the same method because of its simplicity. Games like Shadow Of Mordor, Assassin’s Creed, and plenty more. On another note Kevin Conroy is going to take back the role as Gotham’s dark knight. Much better than Roger Smith who did Arkham Origins. The game will not have a multiplayer and is focused around single player gameplay. Rocksteady and Warner Bros. are making this game exclusively for next-gen consoles and PC. Arkham Knight is being released later this year for the Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC.

Take Our PollAlright guys as you may… or may not know, tomorrow is the release date of “South Park and The Stick Of Truth.” If you haven’t seen the “Black Friday Trilogy” episodes i would highly recommend checking it out before picking the game up, as it will just make the experience that much better. Anyway, they announced the game at E3 back in 2012 and I have counted down the days until it’s in my Xbox and I can shut the world out. Originally being scheduled to release on April 30th 2013, it was pushed to December 10th 2013. That delay upset me way more than I’m proud to admit. However, I waited patiently as possible for the day to arrive. Then October 31st 2013 came around, as i was getting ready for Halloween festivities (Drinking and dressing up like an idiot) I saw that the game was, again, pushed back. I swear to you as a 23-year-old adult that news almost ruined my night. Now five months later it will finally be released.

In the game you are a new kid entering the town of South Park. There is a war going on between Humans and Elves. You get to pick a side and fight with the characters from the show and help them claim The Stick of Truth. You choose between four classes Fighter, Mage, Thief, and Jew (a Paladin/monk class made up by who other than Cartman.) It will have a role-playing feel to it. Matt Stone and Trey Parker want the player to feel like they are in an episode of the show. So you can expect many great references to the series.

After winning Most Anticipated Game and 12 other awards I am not the only one completely stoked for this release. I will be reviewing the game upon playing it. So be sure to check back if you are interested in some random dudes opinion.
